This is not something you have to download, it's in-browser.
It's basically four specific questions that will determine whether you are:

1. Theist
2. Agnostic theist
3. Agnostic
4. Agnostic atheist
5. Atheist

And I also threw in there:

6. Deist
7. Agnostic deist

So try it out and post what you get!
It's only 4 questions.

Not quite. The spectra is much more complicated than that.
I'm going by Merriam-Webster's definitions.

↑
| Theist - believes in a specific deity which is evident from the world around us.
| Agnostic Theist - believes in a specific deity but believes certainty is non-achievable.
| Agnostic - refrains from believing in either side because certainty is non-achievable.
| Agnostic Atheist - believes that there are no deities but certainty is non-achievable.
| Atheist - believes that there are no deities which is evident from the world around us.
↓

Plus, you also have deism.
Which is essentially the belief in deities but not specifically.

"1. Theist
2. Agnostic theist
3. Agnostic
4. Agnostic atheist
5. Atheist"

Middle option is unnecessary.

How? You can refrain from believing in a deity while also not rejecting the idea of it.

That'd be agnostic atheism.

You don't believe in a deity but you don't think you know one doesn't exist.

>"You don't believe in a deity but you don't think you know one doesn't exist."

Eh, no? Why are you arguing against something that the poll provides evidence for?
I show you the exact definition directly from Merriam-Webster.

Atheism, by definition, is the rejection of deities.
Agnosticism by itself is neither rejecting, nor accepting deities, but simply believing that there is not enough evidence so it is unknowable.

Agnostic atheism is rejecting deities but also believing that certainty about it is unknowable.

Theism -- belief in a god or gods

The definition for atheism is in the word itself.
Atheism >> a-theism >> non-theism

Non-theism is not believing in a god or gods.

It's very simple. Someone who has never heard of the concept of a god is an atheist.

I'm not going to argue with you. Merriam-Webster is clear about the definition of atheism.
If you believe they are wrong, write them an emale.

"A" essentially is the same thing as a negative.
If I were to put a negative sign in front of a 1, I get -1, NOT 0.

For example, "biotic" means it is living. While "abiotic" means it is physical.

Living things are physical.

Biotic means living, while "abiotic" means non-living. That helps to prove my point. Thank you for the good example.

Also, it's not a matter of numbers, so that example completely does not fit. Theism/atheist is a binary condition, it's not an integer value.

Also, the prefix "a-" does not give something a negative value or even anything that could be compared to a negative value. You might be thinking of "anti-" in that case, but even then trying to give it numeric values is a bad way of thinking.

Atheism is not negative theism, at's the opposite of theism. The logical opposite of "x" is "not x". Hence, the logical opposite of theism is simply non-theism.
